Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, the present invention is done further and explained.
Regulate and control the method that light field polarization state distributes, it is characterized in that, comprise one group of lens, spatial light modulator 4, controller 5, wave plate 6, grating 7, laser beam analyzer 9 and controller 5;
One group of lens comprises concavees lens 2, preposition convex lens 3 and rearmounted convex lens 8;
When incoming laser beam 1 passes through concavees lens 2 and convex lens 3 successively, collimator and extender becomes linearly polarized light beam, and this linearly polarized light beam is incident to spatial light converter 4; Controller 5 is projection hologram on spatial light converter 4, and described hologram adds and carries phase information and shape information; Spatial light converter 4 is loaded into above information on light beam; The spot size of described linearly polarized light beam mates with spatial light converter 4 operation windows.By the linearly polarized light beam after spatial light converter 4, successively by wave plate 6 and grating 7, generate vectorial field, this vectorial field is local linear polarization light field; This local linear polarization light field focuses on through rearmounted convex lens 8, obtains the focusing light field that polarization state distributes arbitrarily; Defining this focusing light field is Jiao Chang, and Jiao Chang refers to the light field at focus place, focuses on light field.At Jiao Chang place, the polarization state of light field is regulated and controled, local linearly polarized light is converted into there is local linear polarization simultaneously, hydridization polarized light field that circular polarization and elliptic polarization distribute.Laser beam analyzer 9 is analyzed the light intensity at this focus place, Jiao field.
Embodiment mono-:
As shown in Figure 1, experimental provision can be divided into beam-expanding collimation system, special shape vectorial field generation system, focuses on and three parts of detection system.Beam-expanding system is comprised of concavees lens 2 and preposition convex lens 3; Special shape vectorial field generation system is comprised of spatial light converter 4, computing machine 5, wave plate 6 and grating 7; Focusing and detection system are comprised of rearmounted convex lens 8 and laser beam analyzer 9.From the laser beam of laser instrument output, through lens combination, expand into high-quality linearly polarized light beam, be incident to spatial light converter.On spatial light converter, the hologram that uses computer control software to generate in projection, adds the phase information and the shape information that carry Laser Modulation on hologram, and light beam can be loaded into these information on light beam when through spatial light converter.Transmitted light beam passes through wave plate and grating again, generates the vectorial field of special shape, and the polarization state of this vectorial field is local linear polarization light field, and namely on light field cross section, the polarization state at each point place possibility direction is different, but each point place is all linear polarization.Local linearly polarized light refers to by the vectorial field of the rear generations such as spatial light converter, wave plate, grating and hologram.Afterwards, this local polarized light field, by focusing system, completes the regulation and control that polarization state is distributed at lens focal plane place.According to above step, local linear polarization light field originally can be converted into the hydridization polarization vector light field simultaneously with linear polarization, circular polarization and elliptic polarization.As required, can, by the shape of cutting vectorial field, obtain the Jiao Chang that polarization state distributes arbitrarily.
